[And how exactly would the math work on a 3rd party run by Fred. ]

I’m obviously not betting the farm on it. But say McCain is the nominee by plurality. That could mean two thirds of Republicans never voted for him, and he’d be running to the center. That means the Mitt, Huckabee and even Giuliani votes would be up for grabs. Plus the rare sane Democrat.

Maybe, but that’s in a primary. When Nov. gets here most Republicans will vote Republican. Fred running as a 3rd party candidate would flame out faster than he did as a Republican running for the GOP nomination. I hate to say it, but the Fred ride is over.

Yup. If McCain holds up, Huckabee for sure is dead. No way will the big states go for him. Same for Mitt. The only way now to prevent the rinos McCain or Giuliani from getting the nomination is for Huckabee and Mitt to drop out and get behind the only all around consistent conservative in in the race that can pull all three legs of the Reagan coalition back together, FRed Thompson!

Social conservatives, fiscal conservatives and security conservatives should all unite behind FRed! The Reagan Revolution has not yet begun to fight!!

On to victory in FRed November!!

Go, FRed, GO!!
